Josephine Duffau-Lagarrosse continues her fairy tale. She produced exceptional wine in 2023, agonizingly close to her stunning effort in 2022. This wine comprises 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, with 14% ABV. The nose is utterly expressive and fragrant, with scents of black cherries, violets, and iris. It is pure, graceful, elegant, and sophisticated on the palate. The wine has excellent acidity, a great mid-palate, and silky fruit embraced with velvety tannins that gently caress your taste buds. The finish is long and mesmerizing, and the wine tells you to come back for more! 

Josephine is replacing the old vinification cellar with a new one this summer (2024). The new cellar will increase the number of vats from 9 to 16 (mostly the concrete ones), as she wants to extend parcel-by-parcel vinification to more vats. She has also planted more Cabernet Franc in the vineyard. 98-99p.

 Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost  black core. Refined nose with fragrant character, ripe blackberries, wild strawberries and hints of black cherries. Discreet spiciness, fine floral hints and subtle oak in the background. On the palate a well balanced with purity and persistence, silky tannins, juicy fruit quoting the nose, excellent depth and length.
